Ah, I finally found the renderByItem method in TileEntityItemStackRenderer, so now I think I've gotta figure out how to adjust my armor to render in a similar/the same pipeline. (I believe the latter would require a coremod, wouldn't it?) I suppose it's time to brush up on rendering techniques in forge

I am attempting to learn how the banners and shields work in Minecraft, and I cannot figure out where the textures are specified for the patterns, nor how they are applied to the model. I am working on a mod that will allow you to craft a banner with your chestplate to create a tabard, so we can complete that knight's coat of arms look. With the release of shields, I figured this question might be easier to answer, but the only class I can find is the ItemShield class, which doesn't clarify anything any more than the TileEntityBanner class could. Exploring the Minecraft source code can get really confusing, especially for a relatively new modder like myself. If you can answer my question, that would be amazing, but even a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you (edit) I also get the feeling implementation is gonna be different in a forge mod than it is in the minecraft core, so insight there is also welcome ^~^

Thank you, LexManos. Can't wait for it to be back up ^~^

I've seen 504 errors send a 500 message, just wanted to be sure

I've been all around the city on a handful of devices trying to connect to the files site, and I keep getting an HTTP 500 error after trying to connect for a long time. Occasionally, I get a peek of the site, but if I try to download anything, it quickly goes back to being gone. Obviously, the forum is up, but is the download site down?

My gradle builds are proving unsuccessful because I do not have access to the maven repository on the computer I'm trying to mod on, and I would like to know if there are any alternatives I can use to set up my workspace on this computer. My old computer science teacher wants me to set up Minecraft modding on all the computers in her lab so her students and comp sci club kids can play around with it and learn from it. This would all be fine and dandy if it weren't for the restrictions set upon all the computers. Getting the JDK was the first issue, because without administrative access (a luxury even the teacher does not have), the JDK installer would not run. I ended up installing a Windows port of OpenJDK that seems to work, but I can't be certain because of this gradle issue. The minecraft forge website is blocked on all the school computers. Getting the source file was easy enough with a jump drive, but I haven't been able to transfer anything else using this method. Finding all the files that gradle downloads from the repository feels like herding cats, and I'm not certain transferring them between users would work anyway. Is there any way I can access the repository from somewhere else or transfer the relevant files between computers? Or, alternatively, is there any way the IT can run gradle so the dependencies can be accessed by every user on the computer?
